With words such as dead, blood, treacherous, savage, prey, murdered, and strangled, the author creates a picture of the ocean that is a) calm and cool. b) rough and stormy. c) smooth and silky. d) cruel and bloodthirsty.

its D cruel and blood thirsty. pretty obvious

The correct answer is "D".

A metaphor is a word applied to an object to which it is not literary applicable. These words "dead", "blood", "treacherous", "savage", "prey", "murdered", and "strangled", are being used as metaphors in the description of the ocean by the author. In other words, he is trying to transmit the message to the reader that this particular ocean is far from safe and the chances of navigating past it unharmed are very low.

either a donut or a sphere or a pancake or a flat sphere. it depends on where the vertical line is.

if the line goes through the center of the circle and is perpendicular to a diameter containing the center, then you get a flat circle.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.
